With December just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to add a little magic to your pets’ Christmas countdown.
Christmas doesn’t have to mean unhealthy treats. You can make it The Innocent way - a simple DIY advent calendar filled with their favourite healthy air-dried treats. It’ll suit your décor, cut down on waste, and bring joy to you both every day in the lead-up to Christmas.
What You’ll Need:
- Paper bags or hessian/burlap bags
- Number stickers - or get creative and decorate them yourself!
- If using hessian or burlap bags, kraft tags work perfectly for numbering
- String to hang your advent
- Washi tape or craft pegs
- A selection of their favourite The Innocent Hound or The Innocent Cat treats – mix our treat pouches throughout the month or use one of our 600g tubs.
How to Make It
- Gather your materials.
- Fill your bags with treats.
- Add your numbers using stickers, pens or tags
- You can refer to the feeding guides on each pack to help decide how many treats to include each day.
- Always tailor treat portions to your pet’s age and dietary needs. Add your numbers using stickers, pens or tags.
- Hang your string in your chosen spot and attach your treat bags – in order or mixed up for a fun daily surprise.
- Paper bags can be folded over the string and secured with washi tape or pegs.
- Hessian/burlap bags can be tied on using their drawstrings.
- Make day 25 extra special by adding one of our limited-edition festive treats.
Styling Inspiration
Make your advent calendar reflect your festive style:
- Rustic & natural: hessian bags, wooden pegs, and natural twine
- Scandi & minimal: Simple kraft bags, black number stickers, clean lines
- Bright & festive: colourful paper bags, bold washi tape, fun doodles
Helpful Tips
- Keep it fresh: Air-dried treats stay fresh once opened for 8 weeks; ensure you hang it somewhere cool and dry.
- Make it sustainable: Reuse your bags, tags and string each year for an eco-friendly tradition – all our packaging is 100% recyclable.
- Perfect for cats too: Simply fill with their favourite The Innocent Cat treats for a feline-friendly countdown.
